If activating it, it needs to be a dual side gateway. Big buyside offset (test the waters with 6% and maybe lower it to 4 to 3.5% over time according to my gut), small sellside offset (<0.5%).

Alas, we have no mandate to operate a dual side gateway there.
No, wait: you don’t have such a mandate!

What to make with it?
I have a sellside gateway at hitBTC, that could trade some NBT and has a bit over 2 BTC. It could be run dual side mode - oh, no mandate for that either.

@cryptog, @Dhume, @dysconnect, @jooize, @mhps, @ttutdxh, @woodstockmerkle,
what do you say about the current situation, the focus on Poloniex and the options to convert singleside operations to dualside ones?
I think we should draft motions for it and distribute funds between Poloniex, SouthXchange and hitBTC.
But I already declare: if something goes pear-shaped with Poloniex in between, I will make my hitBTC sellside gateway dualside - with or without motion.

I don’t think that trying to provide many exchanges with liquidity can really be managed and isn’t scalable.
At the moment I believe it’s important to have a liquidity provision that’s as reliable as possible - considering the circumstances.

Using SouthXchange and hitBTC next to Poloniex to run NuOwned operations makes sense to me.
What about bter?
What do you say?

tl;dr: The peg has not been lost. It has been abandoned. Replace everyone who abandoned it.

It was a good idea and still is. I would definitely want to see this kind of liquidity provisioning re-instated. Maybe it will require a chuck of shares of the gateway operator in escrow to increase the likelihood these contracts would be executed, but that would be it.

I was previously unaware of this listing. I am very thankful you pointed it out to me. Esko and I have discussed it, and we have agreed to place $20,000 worth of liquidity there immediately: $5,000 on each of side of the BTC/US-NBT pair, and $5,000 on each side of the USD/US-NBT pair.

This listing has US-NBT as the denominator, which is excellent! That is what we always want, because it makes the price easy to understand: something like 4402.21 instead of the more difficult to understand 0.00022807. It looks like a normal Bitcoin price.
